    RT-AC68U f/w: Merlin's or John's Fork???

    If I'm currently using the latest John's Fork f/w (based on 3.74).... Can I just updated to your latest f/w and factory default the settings or is there an official Asus f/w that I need to upgrade to first before installing yours?

    RT-AC68U f/w: Merlin's or John's Fork???

    I understand that both firmwares are great in their own way and are both very popular with members here. However which firmware is recommended mainly for 5Ghz wireless performance (fastest speed) on Apple products??? Thanks

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    Why would you want to downgrade to a much older version, if you don't mind me asking? Is v13 better/more stable than the latest release?

    Need Help Setting Up QoS on RT-68U

    Need help setting up QoS on my 68U router running Merlin's Fork firmware (v14.1). I've never set up QoS before, so any help is greatly appreciated. I need to prioritize an IPTV box, my iPad (Facetime and Netflix) followed by general web browsing. I have a 60/5 speed through my internet...

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    This firmware has made a huge improvement in my wireless range and performance. Getting full 4 bars in parts of my home where I would previously see 2-3 bars. Thanks to the OP for this great file.

    [Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

    On my RT-AC68U, I currently have the latest Asus stock fw 378. When installing John's fork fw, is it recommended to do something prior (ie factory reset or downgrade to a different version of asus stock fw, etc)? I just want to make sure that I do this properly. Thanks.

    DD-WRT for the RT-AC68U - is it worth it?

    I know a few members here are pleased with the results of flashing DD-WRT on the Asus RT-AC87U routers - but I was wondering if DD-WRT is also recommended on the RT-AC68U router? Looking to improve wireless range and performance (currently using latest Asus stock fw). Searching online I've...

    68P Antennas on the 68U???

    Are there any advantages of using the 68P antennas on the 68U router? Will this improve wireless range and performance somewhat or is it not recommended?

    (68P) Poor 5Ghz on Stock FW. Looking for something Better

    Can someone please suggest the optimal/best firmware for my RT-AC68P. I'm beyond frustrated with stock Asus fw, especially when it comes to 5GHz wireless performance. Is Merlin's fw better than stock? Should I go that route or is there another firmware (DD-WRT?) that would make my 68P perform...

    Adding RT-N66U router to existing RT-AC68P Set-Up?

    Hey guys. I've always used a single router in my set-up and this would be the first time I would be adding a 2nd router to my network and I would appreciate some assistance. Currently I have an Asus RT-AC68P router. In one of the rooms, I want to add an Asus RT-N66U router and connect my Xbox...

    RT-AC68U New FW

    Can someone please tell me how to properly set up AiProtection "Alert Preferences." Under PROVIDER, all I see is Google (which is selected). Under EMAIL I put my email address and in the PASSWORD box, do I put in the password of the router gui log-in???

    RT-AC68U New FW

    I was just about to comment on this as well. No 68P update available. I'm really getting tired of how Asus rolls out their firmware updates. Is it difficult to release the updates for ALL of their routers at once, especially for like models, instead of playing this cat-n-mouse game for each and...

    Under AiProtection, I noticed ONE or ALL the last 3 features (Malicious Website Blocking, Vulnerability Protection and Infected Device Prevention) is causing slow web page loading. Currently I have all 3 disabled. Is this recommended? If not, which one is the culprit for the slow loading web...

    Does the NVRAM get cleared when performing a "Factory Reset/Restore" from the router log-in gui page???

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.3873

    Can someone confirm if doing a Factory Reset (via Asus login gui page) is the same as a Hard Reset (holding reset button in back of router for 5 seconds)??? Do they both achieve the SAME result?

    ASUS RT-AC68U Firmware version 3.0.0.4.378.3873

    If updating from 3813, is it still recommended to do a factory reset - or can I just flash the update and reboot?

    New AC68 Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.376.3626

    You might have a bad router then. Exchange it for another one if you're within the return period or contact Asus to for an RMA.

    New AC68 Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.376.3626

    I had disconnections with the RT-AC87R model but I took it back and got the RT-AC68P router (running latest 3626 FW) with no issues on the 5GHz band (2 weeks now and counting). As Merlin suggested - do a factory reset/default and enter your settings from scratch (do not load a saved config...
